Cranberry, Cherry, and Walnut Chutney

Aside from making a stellar accompaniment to roast turkey, this chutney is great for gift giving; pack in a ribbon-tied jelly jar. It also goes well with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or ham.

Super good

I could not find dried tart cherries so I opted to use cherry-flavored dried cranberries, which was the only change that I made to the recipe. This was a big hit at Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and I will make again.

Off to Trader Joe's for dried sour cherries, which will now be 8 years in a row. Like another reviewer, I've made this annually since the recipe was 1st published in Cooking Light. Fanstically easy and favorful, which is a blessing because you'll be making this a lot, trust me. I just need to have plenty of walnuts on hand, since I never fail to over-toast the 1st batch (easy mistake).

I've been making this recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year since it was first published in 2005 and it's always a hit! I adjusted the recipe slightly by simmering the cranberries for 20 minutes instead of 10, which produces a thicker sauce. I also preserve it and send it over seas to family - it travels well and is an excellent hand-made gift. This chutney is forever in my permanent recipe collection!
